property overview

The hotel’s dignified public spaces evoke a sense of history.

The fabled King David has one of the most stunning views of the Old City and is in the exclusive Yemin Moshe neighborhood. The palatial European-designed limestone building, completed in 1931, was built by the Egyptian-Jewish Mosseri family. Its dignified public spaces are adorned with Assyrian, Hittite, Phoenician and Muslim motifs evoking a sense of history, fitting for a hotel which has been the setting for many world changing events. The vibe itself is totally serene, with landscaped gardens and pine trees surrounding the city's largest pool. All suites have sweeping vistas of Jerusalem's Old City walls. Grandest are the sprawling Jerusalem, Presidential and Royal Suites on the upper floors.

"Excellent hotel with history, character and attentive staff that makes you feel at home "

Michael K. | Russian Federation | Member Since: 2007

"The King David is definitely a great hotel. Not only I'd like to go back and stay there for longer , but I'd love to live there.
The atmsphere is magic and everything is just perfect. My room, on the first floor, had a private balcony overlooking the garden and the old city: how lovely! The service is excellent and I've seen the Concierge organising complex tasks in no time. The Operator is lovely and very very helpful. Breakfast is a proper one, with everything you could possibly want to find in the morning."
